OOTD // Dress Code

They are truly blessed to have found their way together. My mom told me that, to be honest, they didn't think they'd last after the first year. They've always been complete opposites. I mean, my dad had to propose three times before they made it to the church. Haha, I'm not kidding! They were friends for years, and my dad always harbored feelings for her. She was dealing with another suitor at the time (I know, she was a hottie back in the day. She still is in my opinion!) so dad took a chance and proposed. The first time, she told him he had better find an American woman, one who could understand him better. But after searching in the States, he knew there wasn't anyone else for him. He came back and proposed again. At first, it seemed positive, but then the very next day they argued. The third time, they didn't even wait until the next day. They hopped in a cab and went straight to the church.

They always have been unconventional...

But they love each other deeply, share
the same faith, and despite their differences, they realize how special
the other person was.

31 years, all of it filled with adventure, romance, and growth. Truly, they've taught each other patience and self-sacrifice.

I love them both so much, and their marriage inspires me to find someone and share a life like they have.
